.studio domain names
Give your creative work a home.
A .studio domain suits a creative practice with a distinctive name. It works for a solo designer as well as a shared recording or photography space, provided the website makes the type of studio clear.

Is .studio right for your idea?
A creative practice or a bookable room?
Service clients need examples, process and enquiry details. People hiring a physical studio also need location, facilities, access information and booking terms.
Make contact feel straightforward
Tell visitors what to include in a brief: project type, likely timing and any practical requirements. A simple enquiry route can be enough before you need booking software.

Questions about .studio domains
Do I need a physical studio to use .studio?
No. It can describe an independent creative practice or collaborative team as well as a physical workspace. Explain your speciality in the opening text.
Which .studio registration periods can I choose?
Standard .studio registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Displayed term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I connect a .studio domain to an existing website?
Yes, if the website service supports a custom domain. Follow that service’s DNS instructions. Domain registration and any paid website service are separate.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
